I’ve changed jobs a couple times and have even been fired once, and here’s what I found… Every single job has good days. Every single job has bad days. And for the majority of the time, they’re neither good or bad. Just kinda “typical.” But when you find yourself staring at the wall; tackling extra duties and still being done before lunch; hearing rumors of downsizing, then take the plunge and look for something else. Anyone who says their job is ~inspiring~ every single day deserves a punch in the teeth. Be realistic with your expectations, but also don’t be afraid to seek greener pastures.
Honest mistake. Ain’t even mad. Without getting into humblebrag specifics, I’m currently working with an engineering group to do exactly that. We’re still in the early stages but it’s showing great promise so far.
It depends on what kind of manufacturing jobs you’re referring to. Menial assembly jobs? Yeah, those are being outsourced or companies are turning to automation. There are still a lot of small scale, custom, and specialty manufacturing centers in the US.
Sometimes I hate not having friends but if it spares me from having to suffer through this bullshit, I’m perfectly content with being a one man wolf pack.
*sigh* Anyone who paid attention in Econ 101 knows this is false. Predatory pricing doesn’t work. It doesn’t exist. Uber’s prices aren’t artificially low – the taxi’s prices are artificially high. Thanks to licensing and regulation, taxis can operate as a monopoly thus spiking prices because of lack of competition. Uber came along offering a better product at a lower price. Low price, high volume sales will trump high price, low volume sales any day of the week (ex. Toyota makes more money off Camry sales than ES sales). People gripe about companies “not playing by the rules” but the rules in place are meant to serve the politically connected.
Sorry, y’all. I’m a fuckin nerd who reads econ textbooks for fun. Carry on.
We’re long overdue for a meteor. Planet wide extinction is a small price to pay if it means being free from this sniveling, whiny, “hurr durr muh privilege” sack of shit.
I graduated 6 years ago and I’m about to receive my first “save the date” in the mail. Looking forward to seeing what this wedding hype is about.

I turn 30 next month and I still owe the equivalent of a new Honda Civic with options. Half done at 26 would have been glorious for me.
We’re all thinking it but I’ll say it…
Todd…
Bang Claire in Girl’s bed. DO IIIIIIIIIIIT!!

Nah…
Girl demands $600 a week. Enjoy the freedom.

Fuck. Yes.
“Lagers & Laffer Curve” would make a great podcast…
*clears throat*
Looking at you, Grandex.
My bad, fam. I wasn’t shooting the messenger. Just pointing out the bullshit. We’re good.

Fuck.
Call me Scott Stapp cause I welcome my Sweet Meteor of Death overlord with arms wide open.
This would be nice if you have friends, period.
They did you a favor

Congrats on the sex
